Like any commercial IT system, the computer servers at the National Asset Management Agency (Nama) record staff members’ visits to Facebook, tweets and emails.
Any employee key stroke leaves a digital footprint.
Enda Farrell, a former Nama executive now being investigated by gardai, clearly did not understand this concept.
Last week, Cian Ferriter, a barrister for Nama, told the High Court that Farrell sent emails containing “highly confidential and commercially sensitive information” from his work account to third parties including Alice Kramer, his Belgian-born wife. Farrell made no attempt to hide his activities.
Among the dossiers Farrell allegedly removed were spreadsheets on loans acquired by Nama and details of strategies the agency had devised to sell certain assets. The loans involved amount to several billion euros. Ferriter said Farrell had acted in a premeditated fashion, and claimed there was no defence for his actions.
